My first tech coin ππ«£π .I almost fired Elon musk π
How I Earned My First Tech Coin ππ
People think the hardest part about tech is coding.
No.
The hardest part is surviving long enough before the money starts coming in ππ.
Because nobody prepares you for that stage where:
your laptop sounds like a helicopter,
your pockets are empty,
your relatives think youβre jobless,
and your only achievement that week is fixing one stubborn bug after 7 hours π.
That was my life.
Every morning I woke up motivated.
By evening, life humbled me again.
I used to sit with my laptop like a millionaire CEOβ¦ yet the only thing entering my account was motivational quotes π.
Still, I refused to quit.
My friends were getting βreal jobs.β
Some were already posting office selfies and βGod didβ captions on WhatsApp.
Me?
I was busy watching:
> βPython Tutorial Part 47β
with 13 subscribers on YouTube π.
And the funny thing about tech is this:
When youβre learning, everybody thinks youβre wasting time.
People only start respecting it after money appears.
Before then, you just look like a suspicious person typing aggressively in darkness ππ».
At home theyβd ask:
> βHii computer inakupea pesa kweli?β
And honestlyβ¦ at that momentβ¦
even I was beginning to doubt π.
I tried everything possible.
I opened coding accounts online.
Nobody followed.
I built projects.
Nobody cared.
I learned HTML, CSS, JavaScriptβ¦ then forgot half of it while learning the other half ππ.
Sometimes Iβd feel motivated after watching successful developers online.
Then after two hours of debugging, Iβd start questioning every life decision that brought me to tech.
One time I applied for an online gig with confidence.
The client replied:
> βCan you share your previous work and experience?β
Experience? π
My brother in Christβ¦
even my own projects were failing...
